Well I lost Raymond.

What are the signs of a glitched villager? I've traded for 1 and she appears fine..

When you’re asking them to move to your town, if you’re able to ask them more than once, the villager is glitched.
After that, however, the only way to tell as far as I know is if “I’ve moved out” is displayed on their door. Unfortunately, after that happens, nothing can be done about it. But if you’ve had her for more than a week, she should be fine

Wow...
That is so odd that he was fine after the update but then disappeared a day later. And also very scary.
I have my Zucker and he's the only villager I ever adopted and the one I care about the most. I have no idea if he's glitched (never shown any signs of it but then I also never bothered to check if I could invite him twice either).
Their idea of fixing this glitch seems weird to me... also the fact that it wasn't even properly addressed if it was fixed in the first place makes me wonder if the update could even unlock more glitches.

I assumed the same since I was able to update and he was fine. The person I traded with even updated their end too the same time I did. Didn’t expect him to just up and disappear /:

That sucks SO bad. I'm sorry!

I have had her over a week and after she agreed to move to my Island I spoke with her again to make sure she was not glitched. She responded the 2nd time just saying she was looking forward to the move or something like that so I assumed she was not glitched out.

It's a bummer this is happening to people though. I put a lot of time and effort into getting my villagers and I'd be upset if one just upped and left...

 

[Xara]

damn that sucks. i’m glad they’re making an attempt to fix the glitch but it sucks that villagers are just up and disappearing

 

[DarkSlayer1331]

Aw, that's so sad! I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm pretty sure one of my villagers is one from another person's void - I can't remember which one. But I do remember that a plot was sold the very day it was empty, I didn't even get that day to try to find a villager for it. Pretty sure it was Groucho to be honest, whom I want to go so bad. But I don't think he's glitched. He's been fine the whole time I've had him, and he's still fine today. If he disappeared tomorrow, I for one would not be saddened by it. xD

 

[brockbrock]

I'm so, so, so sorry this happened to you.

I would be devastated if that happened to me. I hope you are able to find him again (if that's what you want).

Now that the glitches are seemingly fixed, those of us with cycle towns should dedicate them temporarily to giving priority to those who lost villagers from the patch. I will keep you in mind if I stumble upon him!

 

[Kalhyna]

I think my raymond was glitched too ( I could invite him more than once but I only asked him once though ) He is still in my town day +1 after the update... Do you think he can still move out without telling me ? =(

 

[BubbleBlowinDoubleBaby]

I'm so sorry this happened to you.. feeling safe and then being slapped in the face like that must be heartbreaking.

 

[Fey]

Wow that’s so unfortunate ;ェ;
I’m really tired of him due to all the hype, but no villager deserves to just disappear like that! (and of course nobody deserves to lose a villager)

 

[Stil]

Hopefully you didnt pay too much for him

 

[cheezu]

I'll be devastated if anything happens to my Zucker.
Guess I'll just find out tomorrow but I know I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Does anyone know, at least, if it's safe to play online or adopt more villagers through others at this point?
I'm still scared tbh.

 

[monsieurberry]

Gosh...I feel really bad for you I do. I wish I could tell you there’s a ton of other great villagers out there and to be happy with RNG but I know that’s easier said than done for some people. Hopefully you either get him back somehow or find happiness with some other dreamy!

 

[Rosie Moon]

I'll be devastated if anything happens to my Zucker.

If anything happens let me know, I have his amiibo card and I’d be happy to get him for you again

 

[eat]

I wonder if the hacked Raymonds (or any villager) being circulated around will 'disappear' as the game continues to get patched/updated...

 

[Holla]

That sucks, but from the sounds of things they were able to fix currently glitched villagers via the newest patch. To do this though they had to completely erase whoever was glitched. I hope you are able to find him again (minus the glitch) again.

 

[cheezu]

If anything happens let me know, I have his amiibo card and I’d be happy to get him for you again

Luckily, he's still around so I guess it should be safe to assume he wasn't glitched (at least I hope so). haha...
That's so kind of you, though. Thank you!

 

[rainbowbows]

Hey! I'm getting the new ac switch shipped to me next week and just found out I'll have to restart my entire file on it. A little bummed since I've sunk so many hours collecting the sakura recipes haha but I happen to have Raymond on my current island you can have

 

[randomforeignguy]

I moved in Raymond via forced out by amiibo before the patch.
He asked me to move out multiple times, didn’t think about, and then read later on he was glitched. I panicked.

I’ve had my island on lockdown since, and he was doing fine.
Updated my game and he was still there! I felt relieved until today.
A whole natural day passed, woke up and started my game and he’s gone. Isabel didn’t even announce that he left.
Pretty sad about it but looks like anyone who had a villager that had the potential to glitch, even if they didn’t enter the weird “I’ve moved out” phase will disappear too.

edit: I want to make it clear he never entered the “Ive moved out” phase where there was just a vacant house or plot, he was completely normal and functional. When I booted up my game he had just completely disappeared like he never existed. No one mentioned him leaving.

Maaan that stinks i hope they fixed it for good this patch ;__;
